Essentially, anywhere in Colorado was a top recommendation for outdoor explorers who are looking to visit a national park or two during their honeymoon. And when I saw this unique treehouse stay in Cascade-Chipita Park, I simply couldn’t not include it. It’s located within a short driving distance to Colorado Springs for when you want to head into town to visit some craft breweries or restaurants, but you’re sure to feel like you have a totally private space among the trees. “Super clean, just like photos. Location was perfect for exploring Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak and Manitou Springs!...Super quiet location and perfect hidden forest views. Would recommend and stay again,” wrote one guest.

It was recommended again and again for its picturesque views and proximity to everything from wine tastings to kayak excursions. This oceanfront home is situated in Pacific Grove at the southern point of Monterey Bay, and you’ll be close to downtown Monterey, multiple beaches and Lovers Point Park (which sounds like the perfect spot for some honeymoon photos if you ask me). Although I wouldn’t be surprised if you find yourself wanting to spend some time at this rental unit, too, considering it has everything from a private patio with a fire pit to expansive ocean views.

You can do a little bit of everything here, from hitting some hiking trails to taking a scenic tour or visiting a few wineries. And when you’re ready to head back for some rest, this townhouse has a spacious deck where you can enjoy views of the towering red rocks, or you can take a dip in the community pool to cool off. One guest called out that the views are even great at night, too, and shared: “This home was so comfortable, clean and spacious. Decor was lovely and the home had all the amenities we needed.

Hawaii is practically a no-brainer when it comes to options for honeymoon travel, and you’ll want to have Honolulu on your radar if you love snorkeling, hiking and, of course, some beach time. As for where to stay, you have tons of options, but I love that this condo at the Ilikai Resort gets you pool and beach access with your stay, plus those harbor views can’t be beat. Need more convincing that this is the spot to book? “This home was great…It was within walking distance to nearly everything...tons of restaurants and shops, and our tour for Pearl Harbor picked us up just a few short steps from the condo,” one guest shared. “The condo was extremely clean and well-stocked for our needs.

Have you always wanted to spend a night (or maybe a week) under the Northern Lights? Same. Well, Alaska is one of your best bets for spotting them without leaving the U.S., and the tranquil location of this A-frame cabin looks like the perfect place to try. It’s not far from Anchorage, so you’ll still be able to access plenty of restaurants and the airport without a long drive, but you’ll be far enough away for it to feel a little more special and secluded. “This place was amazing! Not too far out of town but far enough to feel very private and remote. Beautiful home and even was able to see the aurora! Great little romantic getaway and will definitely be back,” wrote one recent reviewer. So yeah, I’d say this one is definitely worth considering for your own trip.
